INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Some actuators may 

require switch mount-

ing on a specific side 

of the assembly. Call 

Tolomatic for details.

 Female Connector   5M

SWITCHES

There are 10 sensing choices: DC reed, form A (open) or form C (open or 

closed); AC reed (Triac, open); Hall-effect, sourcing, PNP (open); Hall-effect, 

sinking, NPN (open); each with either flying leads or QD (quick disconnect). 

Commonly used to send analog signals to PLC (programmable logic 

controllers), TLL, CMOS circuit or other controller device. These switches are 

activated by the actuator’s magnet. 
Switches contain reverse polarity protection. QD cables are shielded; shield 

should be terminated at flying lead end. 
If necessary to remove factory installed switches, be sure to reinstall on the 

same of side of actuator with scored face of switch toward internal magnet. 

** 

WARNING

: Do not exceed power rating (Watt = Voltage X Amperage). Permanent damage to sensor will occur.

*QD = Quick Disconnect;  Male coupler is located 6" [152mm} from sensor, 

 

Female coupler to fl ying lead distance is 197" [5m] also see Cable Shielding specifi cation above

REPLACEMENT OF QD SWITCHES MANUFACTURED BEFORE JULY 1, 1997: 

It will be necessary to replace or rewire the female end coupler.

CAUTION: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SWITCH HARDWARE WHEN INSTALLING!

3. SWITCHES

 NOTE:

 Form A Reed Switches should not be used in TTL logic cir-

cuits. A voltage drop caused by the L.E.D. indicator will result.For 

applications where TTL circuits are used, please contact the factory.

 WARNING

: An ohmmeter is recommended for testing Reed 

Switches. NEVER use an incandescent light bulb as a high current 

rush may damage the switch.

 

Reed and TRIAC switches are only recommended for signalling 

position, not directly powering solenoids. For shifting a solenoid, a 

relay or resistor is recommended between it and the Reed Switch. 

Switch ratings must not be exceeded at any time.

 

NOTE:

 For Hall Effect Switch Magnet, be sure the S pole of the mag-

net (indicated with black dot) is facing toward the switch (down).

Switch Ordering NOTES:

To order field retrofit switch and hardware kits for all Tolomatic actuators: 

SW (Then the model and bore size, and type of switch required)

Example: SWBCS10RT 

(Hardware and Form A Reed switch with 5 meter lead for 1" size 

BCS actuator)

Mounting hardware is required if replacing switch for any actuator 

manufactured before 7/1/97
